Paradijsvogel

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a distinct haze that clings to the glass, characteristic of the New England IPA style. A generous, pillowy head forms at the pour and leaves delicate lacing as it recedes. Fine carbonation adds a subtle shimmer to the cloudy body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical stone fruit—mango and papaya—layered over a grassy, floral undertone that echoes the bird of paradise flower. Beneath sits a soft, bready Malz character that grounds the hop-forward aromatics without competing for attention. Citrus zest emerges on closer inspection, adding complexity to the fruit-driven profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and juicy, with tropical and citrus flavors hitting immediately across the palate. The malt base provides a rich sweetness and body that balances the moderate 50 IBU bitterness, preventing the beer from tasting thin or harsh. Mid-palate develops subtle stone fruit and a gentle floral note, while bitterness builds gradually to a clean, measured finish.

◑ Finish

Medium finish with a lingering tropical note and dry citrus aftertaste. The low alcohol sits lightly on the palate, leaving the beer refreshing rather than warming.
